Recent weeks have seen television biographies of Judy Garland, Abbott and Costello, Television Reporter and Cancer Victim Betty Rollin, Baseball Player Ron LeFlore, and Sally Stanford, a California madam who was elected mayor of Sausalito. Early next year Elvis Presley, who died only 16 months ago, will re-emerge on ABC in the person of Kurt Russell. Elvis Redux will be followed by an ABC-TV movie with Robert Duvall playing Dwight D.

Lowe produced the most recent Elvis Costello album, and has worked with the galvanic Graham Parker and the Rumour (a group made up of some Brinsley Schwarz refugees). Edmunds temporarily forsook his own production chores to back up Lowe on his tour of the colonies. "I would never go onstage with another lineup," Edmunds says. "I've got the best, and we're just starting...
